When you make a smoothie, you don’t want it to leave you rummaging through your desk drawers for a snack an hour later. And while ice and frozen fruit add richness for few (or no) calories, you really need protein, which can present a challenge for vegans who avoid soy. Nuts, seeds, and oats can make surprisingly tasty and fairly high-protein smoothies, though.
These drinks, created by Brendan Brazier, formulator of the clean plant-based nutrition company Vega, are made from nutrient-dense ingredients so you sip down energy-boosting, disease-fighting fuel, not empty sugary calories.
